[expert] Setting up linux box to connect to MS network

[Stout, Wayne]

Greetings, everyone.

I'm about to attempt to build a linux box that will function on my company
network, and I need to know if anyone knows of any pitfalls I may hit.

Some background:

Our file servers are NT, mail server runs MS Exchange, and we develop
software on SCO Unix boxes. Individual pc's have hard coded IP addresses.

My biggest concern is connecting to the mail server. Fortunately, we got rid
of the old MSMail server a few months back. Any recommendations on a mail
client that can connect to an Excange server? Anything else that may come
back to bite me?

I plan on using Mandrake 6.0, or possibly RH 6.0.

Thanks in advance for any advice you have.
